    The NFL 2022 season is a week away, with the 49ers having high expectations after a strong playoff run in 2021. The Niners have a chance to make the playoffs with the roster they have today. With the team the 49ers assembled this year, this season will need three critical pieces for the Niners’ success. The key element the 49ers need this year is the quarterback play from Trey Lance with the pressure around him. Another critical element for the Niners this year is the defense, specifically the secondary, with veteran Jimmie Ward leading the pack. The essential element for the Niners is health, with injuries plaguing them in the past couple of years. The 49ers are playoff contenders and go on a deep run, but these pieces are needed to win a Super Bowl.

    Trey Lance 49ers
    Trey Lance will need to play an important part in the 2022 season.

    Offensive Key Piece

    After losing to the Rams last year in the NFC Championship game, the 49ers will start Trey Lance as QB for the year. The performance of Jimmy Garoppolo before this year was problematic for fans, but the front office signed him to an extension to help Lance’s development. The development of Trey Lance is crucial for the Niners to win this year and in the future.

    Defensive Key Piece 

    The 49er’s defensive front is a top-tier defense, with Nick Bosa and Fred Warner leading the pack for the Niners. The secondary for the team has been a question mark for a while, being 28th last year in interceptions. Jimmie Ward is confident in this year’s secondary with the additions of veteran Charvarius Ward, improvements from Emmanuel Moseley in hopes of enhancing the defense. The secondary is key to an air-heavy offense of the NFC West, and San Francisco hopes they have done enough to improve upon it.

    Essential Piece for 2022 49ers

    An essential issue the 49ers have suffered in the last couple of years is injuries with key players. San Francisco needs most of its players in critical positions healthy for this season to be a success. Health is vital for the Niners, especially in edge and offense, with Bosa and Kittle having an injury-riddled season in 2020. San Francisco, when healthy, is looking to bring Lombardi back to the Bay area.

    The 49ers are playoff contenders and go on a deep run, but these pieces are needed to win a Super Bowl. The development of Trey Lance is a significant part of the offense to succeed in 2022. The defensive secondary is another prominent part of this team to thrive in the 2022 season. The last and essential piece for San Fransisco to make a deep run and a Super Bowl appearance is health. The Niners, with these pieces, have a chance to win a Super Bowl if these pieces fall together.
